AIFF file

This patch demonstrates a way to use multiple delays with stereo panning. It requires that you have the tapoutstereo~ abstraction, found here, and the tapoutxfade~ abstraction, found here.

Audio delay is achieved by creating a buffer in which the most recent past sound can be stored. Usually this is called a "ring buffer" or "circular buffer", because when the buffer is filled (with, let's say, the past one second of sound), it loops around and begins refilling itself at the beginning, thus overwriting the sound that was stored more than one second ago.

This shows an extremely bare-bones program for audio file playback.

1. Click on the speaker button (ezdac~ object) to turn audio on.

2. Click on the word open (message object) to open a dialog box that allows you to select a sound file. (In the dialog, select a WAVE or AIFF file and click Open).
